The home ’ s exterior got a refresh . A graceful ramp weaves its way from the driveway to the porch and front door . The sidewalk has a low enough slope that it doesn ’ t need a handrail . The enlarged entrance not only connects the garage to the main living space , it also provides an accessible approach to the backyard . Rolling barn doors throughout offer easy access to the mudroom and ramp , don ’ t eat up floor space and close off the dining area during breakfast . Features like these ensure the house is both attractive and workable .
